rajncajn Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 http://www.gbnreport.com/2007projection.html I do like getting Ross at 1.27 but the draft seems a little too WR heavy for the Saints to go WR in the 2nd. I wouldn't mind seeing Blades with that pick if the draft played out this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 As for his Jets mock, is say ICK and WRONG. Brady absolutely picked the Jets CB's apart in last year's playoff game with Dyson and Barrett injured. The Jets go CB in the first round. Why do these pundits keep saying the Jets will go TE in the first? Serious lack of info with any mock that has Olsen going to the Jets. Ever hear of Jason Pociask? Yeah, neither has this guy. He was a fifth round pick last year, but went IR in early August. HE was the reason the Jets took so long to re-sign Baker last year. He's a TE/HB that runs good routes, had good hands but lacks any deep threat speed with a 4.8 forty in the combine. He's a very good blocking TE, and reminds me of a Chris Cooley. Jets will go CB (if one of the top 4 ranked players are still there, Houston, Ross, etc) or will go WR with speed. The Jets need a deep threat, but it won't be from the TE position. Pociask will be an immediate improvement in run blocking, the team's biggest weakness on offense. Sometimes I think some guy like King or Kiper says the Jets will go TE,and the rest of these people follow the bread crumbs. From a Jets standpoint, frankly, an ignorant mock. Coles is older than his chronological age, and he and Cotchery are very similar WR's.... fearless over the middle, great route runners, can get some YAC, but niether is a deep threat. Brad Smith is a versatile slash type guy, but isn't the replacement for Coles. McCariens is all but gone. The Jets have 3 picks in the first 2 rounds... CB, WR and an offensive lineman, most likey a guard. BPA after that. If this doesn't happen as I predict, I'll eat my hat. Standing by with some salt.

CaptainHook Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I just don't see Polian going with a LB in the first round. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rodgers Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I could see the FalCants moving up to the #2 spot to take CJ. I would be very pissed if it happened but I think landing Thomas would calm me down a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Another thing...this is the first and only mock I've seen Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan going higher than 20th, and this mock has him going at 9th overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Ryan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Word in Dallas is Jerry Jones is looking hard at Dwayne Jarrett. I hear he is enamored with his size, and great hands, and is game fast, not just a straight ahead burner. No way the unknown Bowe is taken ahead of Jarrett. The Dallas pick will be Jarrett or Reggie Nelson, or they trade down for extra picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 No way Minnesota takes Landry at 1.07 Who do you think they would take at 7 then if Russell, Johnson, Quinn, Thomas, Peterson, and Adams are all gone? Could be a trade down, but assuming they stand pat, who would it be instead of Landry? Jamaal Anderson maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Unless I am completely nuts, most mocks have had Daymeion Hughes going in round 1. This has him at #90 -- in the third round. Also, awesome info on the Jets Rovers. Not sure if any other Huddlers have groupies, but I am yours bro! I mean, not in that sick, twisted, stalker way...

Bronco Billy Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'd like to see both DEN's & GB's draft go the way he has it going, with DEN putting an emphasis in the early rounds on D and GB putting early emphasis on RB & TE, but Shanahan taking 2 RBs in the 1st 3 rounds? That's just a flat out case of not understanding a team's drafting philosophy in the least, or even making an effort to understanding it. Shanahan almost never drafts 2 RBs in the same draft, with the exception being a very late draft flyer every so often. Shanahan has drafted 2 RBs once in his years in DEN as HC where the second RB was chosen as early as the 5th round (the first RB chosen that year was in the 4th round), and that was with the intention of making one of them a FB. I'd be very surprised to see DEN go RB before the 6th round this year. I know the coaches, including Shanahan, like M Bell a lot, and they are completely satisfied with Henry being their lead dog this year and probably next also at least. There isn't a real pressing need there right now and Shanahan has never been a coach to put a lot of cap room into RBs if he can help it. Leonard in the 2nd round makes no sense unless GBN is expecting to move him to FB, which Leonard is very actively discouraging right now by trimming down to 226 lbs in an effort to be drafted exclusively as a RB, not a FB - and rightfully so, I might add.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I seriously doubt Jamaal Anderson and Alan Branch will drop to 17 and 18. There is no way Ted Thompson will take a thug running back over two potential superstar defensive linemen. the stock of alan branch has been on the decline....if you remember last year michigan had a kid named gabe watson...early in the draft process he was touted a 1st rounder...he ended up going in the 4th to arizona i dont think branch will drop like that....but i could see him possibly in that 15-18 that range...supposedly tim krumrie in cincy has a drill he runs that is kinda legendary in some league circles...and branch looked like crap when being run through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Dropping Branch from the top 10 to sub-25 seems pretty extreme. To me, Branch's body has the wiring of a superstar. Word has it Krumrie had Branch quit on him during his workout, and furthermore that he was ready to cry & walk off the field. You can have all the desirable physical attributes that you want - if you don't have any mental toughness & you're playing in the interior of the D-line in the NFL, you're as worthless as putting a bag of crap out on the field and hoping the RB trips over it. It's one thing to show up completely out of shape - though that's inexcusable & can cost players literally millions of dollars. It's a whole different thing to be run off a football field by a coach because of a lack of toughness and internal fortitude. IF he's fallen off that far, there's a reason for it.

There's going to be a lot of guys eating crow as Quinn gains some NFL experience. It's awfully trendy right now to be down on Quinn & all over Russell's jock. I see Russell as a much greater bust risk, albeit he also has somewhat greater upside than Quinn, but the bust/stud differential certainly seems to lie in Quinn's favor, IMO. There's a whole lot more to being a successful NFL QB than being able to throw the ball a country mile or through a brick wall. Ask Michael Vick, Kyle Boller, Jeff George, or a plethora of other guys with cannons for arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I wouldn't put too much stock into PFT's mock draft. PFT is to football news what Joan Rivers is to news journalism. Mike Florio has an interesting site, but he doesn't know football. Whenever he strays from gossip, his lack of football knowledge is evident. His gossip isn't too accurate either, but that is the nature of rumors. eh..i hear ya..i dont put much stock in that site...but its always interesting to read...i mean..i just thought it was kind of interesting...and hes not the only one who contributes in that mock....it cant be denied...the stock of alan branch has declined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
